Poll

The Associated Students UCLA opened two popular restaurants, Veggie Grill and Blaze Pizza, this year. ASUCLA said in fall 2017 that it expected to lose more than $1 million for the 2017-2018 year. What do you think about these restaurant openings in light of ASUCLA’s financial situation?
Introducing desired restaurants, such as Veggie Grill and Blaza Pizza, will bolster ASUCLA’s business.
ASUCLA needs to improve other departments, such as its merchandise and textbook stores, in addition to opening new restaurants.
ASUCLA is unlikely to improve its financial situation despite how much it revamps its services.
I have feelings about this issue that are not expressed in the options above.
